Once all are connected, try restarting the software for them to be recognised. 252 +* If a node is refusing to connect, try it with another slot. It is easiest if you place all 16 nodes on the harvester, and swap any nodes that refuse to connect with each other. 253 +* Nodes will likely not show up in the order that they should, though this is not an issue. E.g, a node in slot 6 on the harvester may show up in port 13 in the SoloLite software. Annoying, but it doesn't matter so long as you keep track of what's been harvested! 254 + 255 + 256 + 241 241 == Node Registration and Software Setup == 242 242 243 243 1.
